Job summary:


We're looking for a skilled communicator with strong writing and storytelling skills and an interest in digital communications to join our creative content team.


This role requires a dynamic operator with capacity for pushing new formats, optimising content and responding quickly to the news cycle.

We are looking for an individual who is fluent in social media best practice, relentlessly audience-focused and accomplished in creating content capable of stopping the news feed scroll.

You will join an innovative team of content creators and curators pushing the bar for Government digital communications.


Your work will directly help the department to promote opportunities for export and investment, while building appetite for UK goods and services overseas.

Your work will also connect businesses with relevant support, advice and other resources to help them grow.


Expect to be part of a team that thrives on collaboration, always uses data to test and learn, experiments with new formats and continuously improves engagement.


You will need to be confident in implementing social media channel strategies, interpreting analytics and using software such as the Adobe Creative suite and/or Canva Pro.

The person in this role will also need strong writing and storytelling skills, and sharp editorial judgement.


It is essential to have a natural interest in all things digital and a passion for how the Department for Business and Trade can communicate its news and support businesses.

Being able to work at pace is a must to succeed in the fast-moving environment of UK trade policy and promotion.

We promise no two days will be the same.

If this dynamic excites you, we want to hear from you.
